A better way to keep rust from gathering is to not instutionalize fallback,
force the broken sites to deal with the issue.  While 2% is noticeable, you
can probably drive 1.3 version intolerance out of the ecosystem relatively
quickly if Chrome implements fallback for a limited time (say 6 months after
TLS 1.3 RFC is done) and with a diminishing probability (60% first month, 10%
less each month thereafter), season to taste.
